My husband and I wandered into Olesya's, We were there on the early side, so things were not too busy and the service was fine. They advertise 400 wines by the bottle and 100 by the glass. When I asked the waitress which of two chardonnay's was dryer, she brought me a sample of each to try. We had a... More

We went there last Friday for some wine but as we opened their menu we have decided to stay for dinner which was a very good decision,I have to say! Perfect, tasty, really home made food with very calm and open-eyed service on the side. We will be back, highly recommended!!! Patrick More

We arrived and our starter came before our drinks, we then waited 20 minutes for them to take away our plates and a further 30 minutes for our mains. At no point did anyone come over. When our food eventually arrived it was good but not worth the wait. Wouldn't recommend at all. More

A cosy wine bar located off grafton st/george's st. The atmophere is very relaxed with soft jazz style music, dimmed lighting and attentive but relaxed service. A wide selection of wines on offer although the prices are quiet high. Also offers tasting platters (amazing) and luch/dinner tapas style (i havent had this so cannot comment). A great place to chill... More

I have been there twice, last time on Valentine's day. They have a great selection of wine and the menu looks also nice although I tried only a platter with cheese, meat, pate and pesto. The service is very efficient and top class. More

Had a lovely birthday meal here with my boyfriend in October. The food, wine a service were great. However, it was quite pricey but no more than any other restaurant in the area! More

Went here on the 18th of Dec for Sunday lunch. Enjoyed the experience, food was good and great selections of wines to choose from. However this is where it goes downhill. The service overall was 'poor'. Had to ask numerous times to have glasses of water refiled, the servers dropped the food down and never bothered to come back to... More

We were at Olesya's yesterday for a glass of wine and something to eat. The seating area at the front of the restaurant opens out to Exchequer st which makes it easy to seat and watch people passing by while enjoying a glass of wine. Starters are pricey but nothing special. Wine is ok but expensive. We had a starter... More
